Volunteer

What can I do?

Make a BIG difference.

The generosity of others is at the core of our existence. When you volunteer at the Y, you take an active role in bringing about meaningful, enduring change in your own community. As a volunteer, you’ll be working with other caring, committed people who want to make a difference in your community.

At the YMCA, your time and talent go a long way. Every hour you spend as a YMCA volunteer translates into the caring attention a child or teen needs to grow up healthy and resilient.

Your contribution translates into support for families so they can be successful and strong; ­ healthier lives for people of all ages, backgrounds, abilities and incomes; and a safer, more viable community.

As a YMCA volunteer, you can lead an exercise class, read to a preschool class, coach a basketball team, cook for a bake sale, design a program brochure, greet people at the front desk, find items for an auction, serve as a role model for young people, help out in the office or at a special event, or be part of a group or committee working on a neighborhood problem.

No matter how you help, you’ll make a big difference as you work with others to create a feeling of connectedness in your community.

To solve the problems closest to home—or better yet, prevent them—the YMCA needs more people like you.
